You'll need to be more specific about the config, but you also need to
check things in stages. If the interface is configured correctly, you
should be able to ping the webserver from the m0n0wall itself. If that
doesn't work, see my note about the netmask.
Once that works, it won't make the webserver accessible from anywhere else
unless you do one of two things:
1) Configure the webserver to have the m0n0wall as the route to "anywhere
of interest", which in this configuration almost certainly measn amking
the m0n0wall its default gateway.
2) Enable NAT on the OPT1 interface. But beware that this requires
enabling "Advanced Outbound NAT", which is *instead of* the default NAT
setup rather than *in addition to*, so you'll need to add at least one NAT
rule to restore outbound NAT on the WAN.
I suspect #1 is what you want.
